Operating Systems Linux Red Hat GFS file system performance is very slow Post 302616267 by mark54g on Friday 30th of March 2012 07:34:35 PM

GFSv1 is VERY slow, mostly due to locking issues on inodes. If you use a top level single directory as your shared storage, anything inside can lock the directory inode, which causes VERY poor performance.

Shared filesystems tend to have overhead that already cost you about 12-20% performance penalties.

NAME
fence_cpint - I/O Fencing agent for GFS on s390 and zSeries VM clusters SYNOPSIS
fence_cpint [OPTION]... DESCRIPTION
fence_cpint is an I/O Fencing agent used on a virtual machine running GFS in a s390 or zSeries VM cluster. It uses the cpint package to send a CP LOGOFF command to the specified virtual machine. For fence_cpint to execute correctly, you must have the cpint module installed, and hcp in your PATH. NOTE: for fence_cpint to send a command to another virtual machine, the machine executing it must either be a privi- lege class C user or it must be the secondary user of the virtual machine to be fenced. This means that unless all of you GULM server nodes are privilege class C, fence_cpint can only be used with SLM. fence_cpint accepts options on the command line as well as from stdin. fence_node sends the options through stdin when it execs the agent. fence_cpint can be run by itself with command line options which is useful for testing. Vendor URL: http://www.ibm.com OPTIONS
-h Print out a help message describing available options, then exit. -u userid userid of the virtual machine to fence (required). -q quiet mode, no output. -V Print out a version message, then exit. STDIN PARAMETERS
agent = < param > This option is used by fence_node(8) and is ignored by fence_cpint. userid = < parm > userid of the virtual machine to fence (required). SEE ALSO
